South Australia has some gorgeous little fishing towns – a bit like WA’s Windy Harbour or Horrocks Beach. We keep coming across them and they’re so quaint and remote.
We’ve spent last night and tonight at a community managed campsite in Baird Bay. There is a map of the town and the only public facility other than the campsite is the phone box (which is a significant feature of the map!).
We took a drive today to Venus Bay and Port Kenny. These towns were a bit bigger, both with roadhouses, caravan parks and a general store. We had a pizza tonight from Port Kenny “the best in Port Kenny” but I have to say that Trevor’s pizzas are way better!! Lots of people must take their holidays in these towns and just fish, fish, fish as the parks were busy with lots of vans and tents.
Harry and I came across some kids and their Dads who had been fishing in Baird Bay today. They came off the boat with a big bucket of fish. I asked what they were and was told “salmon! Here, take one if you like!!’. I would have loved to, but we didn’t have anything to fillet them with. I probably should have taken one and wrapped it in foil and cooked it whole on the camp BBQ. Unfortunately I didn’t think that in time! Maybe tomorrow… These guys were catching salmon today to use as crayfish bait tomorrow!
We also visited the ‘Woolshed Cave’ and ‘The Tub’ just out of Venus Bay. It is incredible to see the power that water has over time!
